“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Once I’d written it down, I saw that its subject matter fit in very well with the idea of good and evil, and told Jane I hoped Seth would use it in any discussion of his own.

One small note that occurred to me: for whatever reasons—I will not discuss them now—Ruburt did not feel particularly that you needed or wanted his physical help in matters that you could perform more efficiently by yourself. [...]

[...] … The physical body is the material construction of the entity’s idea of itself under the properties of matter. [...] … The present is the apparent point of any idea’s emergence into physical matter.”

Certainly such matters were far from my mind. [...]

During that experience I knew that we formed physical matter, not the other way around; that our senses showed us only one three-dimensional reality out of an infinite number that we couldn’t ordinarily perceive; that we could trust our senses only so far and only so long as we did not ask questions that were beyond their limited scope of knowledge.

[...] This phrase crops up often in the data in describing words, numbers, other small repetitive printed matter. The object is covered with printed matter on both sides.

[...] No matter which side of the envelope object was facing up, there would be copy in the center of the bottom side. [...]

[...] I also wonder if some of this data might refer to the black lines formed by the printed matter on the object, and its neat-appearing edges, top, sides and bottom.

[...] We received Type II in November 1963, the month in which we began experimenting with matters psychic. [...]

[...] I am going into this matter because it has concerned both of you at various times, and I would like to state that your work will not suffer by expending energy in these other directions.

[...] Friends do not always talk of high and weighty matters, and at times when we have the energy left over from our philosophical dissertations, then let us now and then indulge in at least some pleasantries.

Previously we have been too concerned with other matters for any interchange of an emotional kind, and if Ruburt’s voice sounds rather dreary in this transitional phase I myself am in a very playful, I might say frisky, mood. [...]

[...] I promise to speak on fairly personal and inconsequential matters so that you do not miss my pearls of wisdom.

He is indeed in the wrong, but over tax matters, certain falsifications. [...]

(The material surprised us, and we had no thought of trying to relay it to anybody. We have no idea as to whether the tax matters referred to are true, and/or will develop. [...]

[...] An interesting sideline here: his stinginess in small matters is not so much the result of greed as an emotional attempt to maintain the psychic warmth of childhood, a childhood which was marked by poverty.

As all physical matter is connected in any particular time, or era, so the individual consciousness of each being is also connected with every other. [...]

[...] After giving half a page of information about another matter, Seth closed out the session at 11:12 P.M.)

[...] As far as I’m concerned, at least, it hardly matters which came first; I like the poem as much as I do the session.

[...] You are not healthy, for example, no matter how robust your physical condition, if your relationships are unhealthy, unsatisfying, frustrating, or hard to achieve. [...]

If man paid more attention to his own subjective behavior, to those feelings of identification with nature that persistently arise, then half of the dictates of both the evolutionists and the creationists would automatically fall away, for they would appear nonsensical.⁴ It is not a matter of outlining a whole new series of methods that will allow you to increase your psychic abilities, or to remember your dreams, or to perform out-of-body gymnastics. It is rather a question or a matter of completely altering your approach to life, so that you no longer block out such natural spontaneous activity.

It is not either simply a matter of biological clocks, with some people using their available energies faster. [...]

[...] There is no such thing as a wasted life, no matter how it might appear, and while the desire for death is a natural one, it can also serve at various stages as one that extends any given life for a while by clearing away old debris. [...]

[...] An engagement that is not scheduled will be important, and the crux of the matter.

[...] Peg felt the situation was building up to some kind of climax; she spoke of small matters like limits being placed on personal phone calls, etc; various economies being instituted; the dissatisfaction of employees.

[...] Again and again, I thought of resistance, of the sinful self putting up roadblocks, no matter what the consequences. [...]

[...] I know that sooner or later I’ll be doing this no matter what the outcome of our present situation is, whenever Dreams is finished, I suspect at this time. [...]

[...] The aware mind is not any one event, for that matter; it represents various portions of the inner self that “surface” at any given time.

[...] This image is impressed into matter in this way: You tune yourself into a highly specific dimension of reality. [...]

[...] No matter what your version of creativity, or the creation of the world, you are stuck with questions of where such energy came from, for it seems that unimaginable energy was released more or less at one time, and that this energy must then run out.

[...] You can say that it took untold centuries for the EE units “initially” to combine, form classifications of matter and various species; or you can say that this process happened at once. [...]

[...] It is a difficult matter to explain to you, for the words that I must use necessarily must be couched in somewhat questionable terms.

[...] This image exists below the threshold of matter. [...]

[...] I am in a quandary, and I admit it, as to which matters you would prefer I discussed first. [...]

Now when this ego becomes overly concerned over practical matters it becomes overly conditioned to negative responses. [...]

[...] When the ego becomes too concerned with daily matters, with worry in other words, then the works of the tool become clogged. [...]

As far as life readings are concerned, I will go into the matter later.

(She’s received several recent requests for such interviews from or through Prentice-Hall, and the call this morning brought the matter to a head. [...] I finally realized that she didn’t really want to do such shows anymore, no matter whether the Sinful Self was involved or not. [...]

I did believe that I had answered that question this evening, specifically concerning the radio interviews, but also pertaining to the entire matter of Prentice publicity for the books just published. [...]

There will be some more material in this book dwelling specifically upon reincarnation, but here I want to point out that in this time of choosing between lives, many more issues are at stake than a simple matter of proposed rebirth.

[...] Such matters are also decided at this time. [...]

Now in this time of choosing all of these matters are considered, and suitable preparations made, but the planning itself is all a part of experience and of development. [...]

(The idea seemed to be that creativity, mine and anyone’s, is initially playful, curious, seeks expression—and is one of the highest kinds of psychic play—the artist playing with concepts no matter what the art; and actually inserts his or her reality onto the world, superimposed upon it. [...]

[...] These have their own consciousnesses alive in matter, their drive to exist and be within the framework of their own nature. [...]

[...] It is imperative that Ruburt throw considerable energy into his idea for classes; whether in writing or in psychic matters, that all available, practically available time and effort be given here to such an endeavor; that it not be adopted halfheartedly.

[...] A male involved in connection with the psychic matters. [...]
